Zootopia Two 

The production of Zootopia 2, a movie with a budget of 150$ million, had many interesting additions to it, and had lots of effort put into it. The cast of the movie included many famous people. These people include Fortune Feimster (Nibbles Maplestick), Idris Elba (Chef Bogo), Andy Samberg (Pawbert Lynxley), and more. Other than famous people, during the production of the movie, lots of jokes and references were made. For example, in one of the scenes where Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde are in the desert, a festival with the sign “Burning Mammal” is shown. This is an obvious reference to the Burning Man festival, which took place not too long before the movie. This reference also received backlash, as Burning Man was an adult festival. Zootopia 2 also has lots of unique characters. It has 178 unique characters representing 67 different animal species voiced by renowned actors.

Despite lots thinking it is a great sequel, Zootopia 2 has received backlash for having controversial features, and for the style of the overall movie. Sofia Babbs, a 6th grader at EJHS, states, “It was fun. There was a lot of mysteries being solved, and a couple of jokes.” She liked Zootopia 2 as a movie and thought it was funny and good. Although lots of others have thought that it was too controversial. Kerry I, a reviewer on Rotten Tomatoes, states, “More an adult humor film, too much for 4-8 year olds to handle, my 5-year-old son hid during much of it because of temperament or characters and violence.” This review, along with lots of others, thinks that Zootopia 2 has too many adult jokes and should be more of a kids' movie. Controversies like its LGBTQ+ content have also emerged.
